GROUP 2001 provides a forum for researchers and
practitioners who are interested in topics related to computer-based systems
that have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks. Relevant
issues include design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, methodologies,
and effect of these systems.
In the last few years, the functionality and
applicability of systems for supporting group work has expanded, leading to
their growing application to organizational information, communication, and
cooperation processes. This provides opportunities to study their technical
and social impacts. Often the integration of new technology with existing or
new organizational practices is very challenging. The knowledge gained from
such experiences is a valuable resource for all those who plan to, or have
integrated computer-based tools for the support of group interaction. At the
same time we observe a growing influence of the Internet, mobile computing,
agent systems, ubiquitous computing, and virtual reality. We can expect that
these new technologies will also exert a large influence on
group/organizational structures and processes. These new technologies are
exciting in their own right, but their technological and organizational
integration to support groups raises many interesting questions and is a
challenging new research agenda.
GROUP 2001 attempts to integrate two
themes of research: the organizational and behavioral issues and the modeling
or implementation issues associated with group work. GROUP 2001 brings
together researchers and practitioners from different areas working on the
development, introduction, management, deployment, and analysis of
computer-based systems supporting group work within organizations.
